Franchise Information

What type of franchise does Kinder's offer?
Kinder's offers a Single-Unit Franchise Agreement for those interested in only one restaurant location and an Area Development Agreement for those interested in developing a particular market with two or more restaurants.

Do I need restaurant experience to own a Kinder's franchise?
Franchisees are recommended to have at least 2 years experience as a restaurant owner or operator, although it is not required. Kinder's has an extensive training program where all franchise operators will learn the Kinder's franchise business model at one of our corporate training facilities prior to opening. Kinder's corporate team will also aid in post-opening training and development.

Do I need to actively work in my stores?
No. However, you must at all times have a full time, qualified General Manager putting 100% of his/her effort into running a successful business. If your General Manager does not have restaurant experience, they must first complete the Kinder's Franchise Training Program before beginning work.

How much does a typical Kinder's franchise cost to open?
The estimated investment to open your first Kinder's Meats-Deli-BBQ franchise ranges between $261k and $639k. This includes the initial franchise fee.
